Find the Sun - by Andy Harkness (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

From the creator of Wolfboy comes a spectacularly illustrated, whimsical story about finding courage in yourself.

Take a leap and find the sun. . .

Eddie doesn't like Mondays. He'd rather burrow under the covers than face the day.

Then he hears a tap tap tap . . .

An unexpected friend has arrived to take him on a journey. Eddie is afraid, but that's okay, journeys can sometimes be frightening. Step by step Eddie grows braver, and before long he understands.

Through any storm . . . you can always find the sun.
